Reno went ahead early in the game when Brian Brown scored in the 19th minute of an assist by Mfeko to give the club a 1-0 lead.

Las Vegas had a chance to tie it 2 minutes later, but the attempt hit off the side of the goal and the ball bounced back onto the field.

The Lights did tie it in the 29th minute, on a goal by Raul Mendiola.

The players were not sure what went wrong late in the match.

"When you score three goals, you're supposed to win the game," Mfeko said. ""We've got to win that game."

Reno (12-7-10, 46 points) is in eighth pace in the USL Western Division. Las Vegas Lights FC is 7-15-7, with 28 points.

Mfeko said he would need to watch the game film to see what went wrong.

Brown agreed, but said it's on to the next game.

"It's frustrating, we needed to win this game," Brown said. "It's disappointing, but we need to move on to the next one."
